Overview
Updated 02/14/2022
When using AviontéBOLD, you have the ability to provide your Talent access to their paycheck data as well as electronic W-2's and T4's. Taking advantage of this functionality allows you to save on printed or emailed paystubs, as well as minimize the number of documents that need to be printed at year-end.

To display paychecks on the Talent access area, go to Utilities > Talent Profiles and toggle On the Paychecks area, under the Pay History section.
This will activate the Paychecks section on the Talent access area, in Pay History.

During your year-end processing - once you have flagged a quarter complete (for more information on this process see: Year-End: W-2 Process Guide) W-2’s will be accessible via the Talent access area.
T4 Electronic Access

Once you have reviewed your T4 forms, and are ready for employees to view them, you need to update a back office system property for the year you wish to display. This property is called EmployeePortal_MaxT4YearToDisplay. This property does not get auto-populated; it must be entered manually to help ensure that you are ready to post the forms. This is done in Back Office (AviontéCLASSIC). Here are the directions:
- Open your instance of AviontéCLASSIC (Back Office).
- Go to Supplier Administration (Admin Tools > Employer > choose employer).
- Scroll to the end of the Supplier Properties using the scrollbar on the right.
- There is a blank cell at the bottom of the list. This is used for making new property entries. Create a new property called EmployeePortal_MaxT4YearToDisplay.
- Press the Tab key. This will take you to the Value textbox.
- Enter the year you wish to display.
- Tab away from the Value field.
- Click Save.

Consent
Employees must consent to be provided only the electronic version of their W-2s. To collect consent from your Talent to only receive an electronic W-2, we are providing an Adobe Sign mapping. Using this Adobe mapping will allow you to create an electronic signature form using Adobe Sign.
Note: Talent will receive an electronic W-2, the electronic consent is consenting to not receive a paper form.
In the field on the Adobe Sign form where you allow your Talent to indicate that yes, they would like to only receive an electronic W-2, we can use the field name of “Electronic W2 Consent”. Please feel free to configure this field as you like, but to ensure the data flows back into Avionte you will need to have a "yes" value and a "no" value that match the drop-down for the electronic consent field in Avionte.
The mapping for the Adobe Sign document should look like below:
This will ensure that the yes or no selection from the Talent will populate into the Talent > Tax > Electronic W2 Consent field. When you are processing your W2’s at the end of the year and are running your W2 report, you can choose not to include those who want to receive it electronically. This will minimize the number of printed W2’s.
Note: If you turn on the W-2 section of the Talent access area, W-2’s will display for all Talent, regardless of whether or not they have opted in for an electronic W-2. The consent portion is to help you manage which W-2’s need to be printed. The goal of this is to help make your year-end W-2 process more electronic, and thereby convenient.
